Pizzaiolo

Join Our Team as a Pizzaiolo at The Pizza Vagabond in Amsterdam!

Are you ready for your next exciting culinary adventure?
The Pizza Vagabond, a thriving Neapolitan pizzeria in the heart of Amsterdam, is looking for an experienced Pizzaiolo to join our passionate team!

About Us

We don’t believe in shortcuts — only craftsmanship, passion, and authenticity.
At The Pizza Vagabond, we do things the real Italian way — and we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty! Every sauce, every topping, every piece of dough is made from scratch with care and respect for Italian tradition.

Our Pizzaioli start their day early, prepping and cooking high-quality, seasonal ingredients with heart and precision. We have just a three-drawer freezer — and it’s only for ice! Everything else is made fresh, every single day. Because that’s how real flavor is born — from hard work, patience, and genuine love for the craft.

So, if you’re truly passionate about cooking, craftsmanship, and Italian flavor — if you love rolling up your sleeves, learning, growing, and turning simple ingredients into something magical — you’ll feel right at home with us at The Pizza Vagabond.

Our cozy and welcoming restaurant attracts the loveliest guests and continues to grow — averaging around 60 covers during the week and about 120 during busy weekends. While the role can be demanding, we believe it’s just as important to enjoy your time at work and have fun as a team.
